Conversation with the Artist
Jonathan Kaiser (Art For Lunch)

Albertan artist Jonathan Kaiser uses found and obsessively crafted objects to build detailed imaginary spaces. Kaiser's installations draw on his personal history and memories of domestic spaces by using a playful approach to scale.

Explore the AGA's RBC New Works Gallery, where Kaiser has built a semi-abandoned room inside the gallery, with posters, terrariums and personal effects left inside to characterize the room's past residents.

The RBC New Works Gallery features new artworks by established and emerging Alberta artists. Initiated in 1998 and named the RBC New Works Gallery in 2008, this gallery space continues the Art Gallery of Alberta’s tradition of supporting Alberta artists.
